Why provide food aid when you can go dancing in a gold-gilded royal ballroom?

Tuesday's election shows that tone-deaf craziness is on many people's minds.

Agreed. I tried to find stats on Independents, "the deciders", but couldn't. What I did find was that younger voters turned out in much higher numbers.

At a guess, I think most Americans are turning against MAGAt lies, bullshit, corruption, and flaunting of our nation's laws.

How key demographic groups voted in 2025, according to the AP Voter Poll

There were signs in the AP Voter Poll that there’s plenty of room for Democrats to make up ground among groups that moved toward President Donald Trump in last year’s election.

Yup. If Trump was TRULY a "king", then there wouldn't be any government shutdown in the first place because he'd just decree that the government be open despite Senate Democrats.

Right?? @Jade Dragon @ThatOwlWoman @Cypress @Ross Dolan @Poor Richard Saunders @Dutch Uncle @AProudLefty @Nordberg @Walt @archives @domer76 @Tbird19482 @martin @gmark77 @Althea @BartenderElite @tigerred59 @QP!

I don't think any of us are saying that he is a king. We have said he is a moron and an incompetent...but not that he is a king.

He most assuredly is a wanna-be king...or a wanna-be dicktator.

Of course you do.

OTOH, those people you are hoping get fucked in the ass by the Federal government will simply start looking for jobs outside of government. Smart people know this will result in a brain and experience drain of government workers such as ATC, FAA inspectors, FDA inspectors, etc.

Your actions mirror those who seek, either purposely or out of stupidity, in weakening the United States in the face of our enemies and global competitors. Only MAGAts, being fucking morons, believe they can turn back the clock to 1950.
 
Republicans really stretched their districts thin to gerrymander more districts

The Latino vote for trump has crumbled away

They fucked up

I heard the same thing about younger voters, and also that the No Kings demonstrations had an impact.

I do realize the government has three branches, I also realize which branch has the power to appropriate and allocate funds. You apparently do not understand how the constitution limits the disparate branches and think that the judicial has the power of the other two branches without limit.

The only person pretending to be a king is the Judge, who believes he can exercise power he does not have per the constitution.

You have failed yet again

Stop defending what you claim is not yours

Yes. They would look for jobs elsewhere. This is not something "MAGAts", neither the leftists who are infested with them or the actual "MAGAts", are suggesting. It is something I would prefer but know won't happen. One thing I know, is that one day the debt will come to visit our doors. As long as folks continue voting for "free" stuff and think Government can just spend like there is no debt to pay we just continue to add to the pain we will have to overcome when the bill comes due.

How glib. The fact is the Dems do not want many millions of Americans to lose healthcare so the wealthy can get more money and more power.
